Objectives
Introduction
Training and development of human resources has evoked a great deal of interest in
recent years. Human resource management has two basic approaches: a reactive, or problem-
solving approach, and a proactive, or forward-looking approach. Training is used in both.
Training is a systematic process of changing the behavior, knowledge, and attitudes of present
employees to improve the match between employee characteristics and employment
requirements.
In the present day radical changes, organizations are shriving hard to maintain a
viable and knowledgeable work force. Obviously, employee training and development has
become not only an activity that is desirable but also become a big business and getting
bigger.
What Is Training?
New problems, new procedures and developments in technology, new knowledge and
job requirements are constantly creating the need for training thus making it a continuous
process. Coping with the changes essentially involves increased emphasis on human
resources development. Development of human resources involves acquisition of new
abilities with changed skills, knowledge and attitude of the employee necessary for better
performance. Development includes both training to increase skills in performing a specific
job and education to increase general knowledge of the total environment.
Thus, training and development activities can become meaningful when integrated with the
overall human resource development strategy of an organization. They have assumed great
importance with the phenomenal and unprecedented changes in the internal and external
environments of today’s organizations. Training supposed to bring about change in the
behaviors of employees so as to enable them to meet the current and future requirements of
their tasks and roles.
Employee training has become necessary and increasingly important as jobs have
become more sophisticated and influenced by technological changes. Every organization
needs to have well-trained and experienced people to perform the activities that have to be
done. As jobs have become more complex, the importance of employee training has
increased. Training may mean changing what an employee knows, how he works, his
attitudes towards his work or his interactions with his co-workers or his supervisors. Training
is concerned with helping people to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to
do the work for which they are employed. It must create changed behavior. Training today’s
has become an integral part of any organizations operations. Training, allied to other human
resource functions within management, ensures a pool of manpower of the required levels of
expertise at the right time. Training plays a crucial role in human resources development.
Today no organization can ignore the training and educational or developmental needs of its
employees for a long time without seriously hampering their effective performance.
Training and development of human resources will return values to the organization in
terms of increased productivity, heightened morale, reduced costs, and greater organizational
stability and flexibility to adapt to changing external requirements. Training and development
efforts are also helpful in achieving high standards of quality, building up satisfactory
organization structure, reducing employee dissatisfaction, eliminating the need for constant
supervision, and equipment them with capabilities for promotion of cordial and healthy
industrial relations through better handling of complaints and grievances.
i) The production of work to required standards of quality, quantity, costs and time.
ii) The development of staff, by skill and knowledge, to meet the foreseeable needs
of the organization, i.e.
- higher productivity
- Increased efficiency in operation.
- A safe and harmonious working environment.
The company's headquarters are at No 1, Nelson Mandela Road, New Delhi. February 2012,

History
Maruti Udyog Limited was established in February 1981, though the actual
production commenced only in 1983. It started with Maruti 800, based on the Suzuki Altokei
car which at the time was the only modern car available in India. Its only competitors were
Hindustan Ambassador and Premier Padmini. Originally, 74% of the company was owned by
the Indian government, and 26% by Suzuki of Japan. As of May 2007, the government of
India sold its complete share to Indian financial institutions and no longer has any stake in
Maruti Udyog.
Chronology
Beginnings
Maruti's history begins in 1970, when a private limited company named 'Maruti
technical services private limited' (MTSPL) was launched on November 16, 1970. The stated
purpose of this company was to provide technical know-how for the design, manufacture and
assembly of "a wholly indigenous motor car". In June 1971, a company called 'Maruti
limited' was incorporated under the Companies Act and Sanjay Gandhi became its first
managing director. "Maruti Limited" went into liquidation in 1977. On 23 June 1980 Sanjay
Gandhi died when a private test plane he was flying crashed. A year after his death, and at the
behest of Indira Gandhi, the Indian Central government salvaged Maruti Limited and started
looking for an active collaborator for a new company. Maruti Udyog Ltd was incorporated in
the same year through the efforts of Dr V.Krishnamurthy
Suzuki enters
In 1982, a license & Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) was signed between Maruti
Udyog Ltd. and Suzuki of Japan. At first, Maruti Suzuki was mainly an importer of cars. In
India's closed market, Maruti received the right to import 40,000 fully built-up Suzukis in the
first two years, and even after that the early goal was to use only 33% indigenous parts. This
upset the local manufacturers considerably. There were also some concerns that the Indian
market was too small to absorb the comparatively large production planned by Maruti
Suzuki, with the government even considering adjusting the petrol tax and lowering the
excise duty in order to boost sales. Finally, in 1983, the Maruti 800 is released. This 796 cc
hatchback is based on the SS80 Suzuki Alto and is India’s first affordable car. Initial product
plan is 40% saloons, and 60% Maruti Van. Local production commences in December 1983.
In 1984, the Maruti Van with the same three-cylinder engine as the 800 was released and the
installed capacity of the plant in Gurgaon reached 40,000 units.
In 1985, the Suzuki SJ410-based Gypsy, a 970 cc 4WD off-road vehicle, was
launched. In 1986, the original 800 was replaced by an all-new model of the 796 cc
hatchback Suzuki Alto and the 100,000th vehicle was produced by the company.In 1987, the
company's started exporting to the West, when a lot of 500 cars were sent to Hungary. By
1988, the capacity of the Gurgaon plant was increased to 100,000 units per annum.
Market liberalisation
In 1989, the Maruti 1000 was introduced and the 970 cc, three-box was India’s first
contemporary sedan. By 1991, 65 percent of the components, for all vehicles produced, were
indigenized. After liberalization of the Indian economy in 1991, Suzuki increased its stake in
Maruti to 50 percent, making the company a 50-50 JV with the Government of India the
other stake holder.
In 1993, the Zen, a 993 cc, hatchback was launched and in 1994 the 1298 cc Esteem was
introduced. Maruti produced its 1 millionth vehicle since the commencement of production in
1994. Maruti's second plant was opened with annual capacity reaching 200,000 units. Maruti
launched a 24-hour emergency on-road vehicle service. In 1998, the new Maruti 800 was
released, the first change in design since 1986. Zen D, a 1527 cc diesel hatchback and
Maruti's first diesel vehicle and a redesigned Omni were introduced. The
1.6 litreMarutiBalenothree-box saloon and Wagon R were also launched.
In 2000, Maruti became the first car company in India to launch a Call Center for
internal and customer services. The new Alto model was released. In 2001, Maruti True
Value, selling and buying used cars was launched. In October of the same year the Maruti
Versa was launched. In 2002, Esteem Diesel was introduced. Two new subsidiaries were also
started: Maruti Insurance Distributor Services and Maruti Insurance Brokers Limited. Suzuki
Motor Corporation increased its stake in Maruti to 54.2 percent.
In 2003, the new Suzuki Grand Vitara XL-7 was introduced while the Zen and the
Wagon R were upgraded and redesigned. The four millionth Maruti vehicle was built and
they entered into a partnership with the State Bank of India. Maruti Udyog Ltd was Listed on
BSE and NSE after a public issue, which was oversubscribed tenfold. In 2004, the Alto
became India's best selling car overtaking the Maruti 800 after nearly two decades. The five-
seaterVersa 5-seater, a new variant, was created while the Esteem was re-launched. Maruti
Udyog closed the financial year 2003-04 with an annual sale of 472,122 units, the highest
ever since the company began operations and the fiftieth lakh (5 millionth) car rolled out in
April 2005. The 1.3 L Suzuki Swift five-door hatchback was introduced in 2005.
In 2006 Suzuki and Maruti set up another joint venture, "Maruti Suzuki Automobiles
India", to build two new manufacturing plants, one for vehicles and one for engines. Cleaner
cars were also introduced, with several new models meeting the new "Bharat Stage III"
standards. In February 2012, Maruti Suzuki sold its ten millionth vehicle in India. For the
Month of July 2014, it had a Market share of >45 %.
Relationship between the Government of India, under the United Front (India)
coalition and Suzuki Motor Corporation over the joint venture was a point of heated debate in
the Indian media until Suzuki Motor Corporation gained the controlling stake. This highly
profitable joint venture that had a near monopolistic trade in the Indian automobile market
and the nature of the partnership built up till then was the underlying reason for most issues.
The success of the joint venture led Suzuki to increase its equity from 26% to 40% in 1987,
and further to 50% in 1992. In 1982 both the venture partners had entered into an agreement
to nominate their candidate for the post of Managing Director and every Managing Director
will have a tenure of five years
Manufacturing facilities
Maruti Suzuki has two manufacturing facilities in India. Both manufacturing facilities
have a combined production capacity of 14,50,000 vehicles annually. The Gurgaon
manufacturing facility has three fully integrated manufacturing plants and is spread over 300
acres (1.2 km2). The Gurgaon facilities also manufacture 240,000 K-Series engines annually.
The Gurgaon Facilities manufactures the 800, Alto, WagonR, Estilo, Omni, Gypsy, Ertiga,
Ritz and Eeco.
The Manesar manufacturing plant was inaugurated in February 2007 and is spread
over 600 acres (2.4 km2). Initially it had a production capacity of 100,000 vehicles annually
but this was increased to 300,000 vehicles annually in October 2008. The production capacity
was further increased by 250,000 vehicles taking total production capacity to 800,000
vehicles annually. The Manesar Plant produces the A-star, Swift, Swift DZire, SX4, Ritz and
Celerio. On 25 June 2012, Haryana State Industries and Infrastructure Development
Corporation demanded Maruti Suzuki to pay an additional Rs 235 crore for enhanced land
acquisition for its Haryana plant expansion. The agency reminded Maruti that failure to pay
the amount would lead to further proceedings and vacating the enhanced land acquisition. It
plans to set up a plant in Gujarat and has acquired 600 acres of land.
Industrial relations
Since its founding in 1983, Maruti Udyog Limited has experienced problems with its
labor force. The Indian labour it hired readily accepted Japanese work culture and the modern
manufacturing process. In 1997, there was a change in ownership, and Maruti became
predominantly government controlled. Shortly thereafter, conflict between the United Front
Government and Suzuki started. In 2000, a major industrial relations issue began and
employees of Maruti went on an indefinite strike, demanding among other things, major
revisions to their wages, incentives and pensions.
The standoff between the union and the management continued through 2001. The
management refused union demands citing increased competition and lower margins. The
central government privatized Maruti in 2002 and Suzuki became the majority owner of
Maruti Udyog Limited.

components and accessories that were compatible. This caused a serious threat and loss of
revenue to Maruti Suzuki. Maruti Suzuki started a new initiative under the brand name

visors, fog lamps, stereo systems, seat covers and other car care products. These products are
sold through dealer outlets and authorized service stations throughout India.
